Hearts and Minds...

A complementary blog to my more general one at My Place in Cyberspace. I will use this space to vent, discuss, celebrate, etc, my recovery, continued progress, and setbacks associated with my coronary artery disease.

Quick update

I've joined a gym (Healthtrax in Germantown) and have an appointment with a trainer tomorrow afternoon (1st hour is included in the membership; after that, it's extra - but I'm thinking I don't need a trainer right now and my visit tomorrow will just be to get me started in the right direction).

I *am* becoming a bit better on the diet side - instead of cookies, I'm going for nuts (and since I'm already there... bada bing!). Still the occasional sweet, but with exercising, I haven't gained any weight (in fact, maybe even lost a couple of pounds).

Other health related notes: going to see the endodontist on Tuesday - will probably need a root canal repeated; visited my gastroenterologist last week and am scheduled for an endoscopy next month; finally, need to set up an appointment for my 6-month check up with the cardiologist.
